Indication lamps
E00501600012Turn-signal indication lamps/
Hazard warning indication
lamps
E00501700185
These indication lamps blink on
and off
when a turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
l If the blinking is too fast, the
cause may be a blown lamp bulb
or a faulty turn-signal connection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash
on and off continuously. High-beam indication lamp
E00501800115
This indication lamp illuminates when
the high-beam is used. Front fog lamp indication
lamp*
E00501900347
This indication lamp
illuminates while
the front fog lamps are on. Rear fog lamp indication
lamp*
E00502000068
This indication lamp illuminates while
the rear fog lamp is on. Diesel preheat indication lamp
E00502300250
This indication lamp illuminates when
the

ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position. As the glow plug becomes hot,
the lamp goes out and the engine can be
started. CAUTION
l
If the diesel preheat
indication
lamp
comes on after the engine
is started, the engine speed may
not rise above the idling speed
because of fuel freezing. In this
case, keep the engine idling for
about ten minutes, then turn
off the ignition switch and im-
mediately turn it on again to
confirm that the diesel preheat
indication lamp is off.
NOTE l If
the engine is cold,

the diesel pre-
heat indication lamp is on for a lon-
ger time.
l When the engine has not been star-
ted within about 5 seconds after
the diesel preheat indication lamp
went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position.
Then, turn the switch to the “ON”
position to preheat the engine
again. l
When
the engine is
warm,
the die-
sel preheat indication lamp does
not come on even if the ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion. Fuel filter indication lamp
E00509900170
This indication lamp illuminates when
the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine
has started. If it lights up while the en-
gine is running, it indicates that water
has accumulated inside the fuel filter; if
this happens, remove the water from the
fuel filter.
Refer to “Removal of water from the
fuel filter” on page 6-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can re-
sume driving. If it either does not go out
or comes on from time to time, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle inspec-
ted. Instruments and controls

It is possible to
activate the following func-
tions. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • Flashing of the turn-signal lamps and theindication lamp in the instrument cluster
when the lever is operated with the igni-
tion switch in the “ACC” position
• Flashing of the turn-signal lamps and the indication lamp in the instrument cluster
three times when you move the lever to

• The time required to operate the lever for the 3-flash function can be adjusted. Hazard warning flasher switch
E00506600903
Use the hazard warning flasher
switch when the ve-
hicle has to be parked on the road for any emergency.
The hazard warning flashers can always be operat-
ed, regardless of the position of the ignition key.

Push the switch to turn on the hazard warning flash-
ers; push the switch again to turn them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal lamps
flash continuously, as do the turn-signal indication
lamps in the instrument cluster. NOTE
l If
the lamps are kept

flashing for a long time,
the battery will be discharged, resulting in
hard engine starting or no start condition.
l If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned
out.
We recommend you to have the vehicle in-
spected. Front fog lamp switch*
E00506801029
The front fog lamps
can

be used only when the head-
lamps or tail lamps are on. Turn the knob once in
the “ON” direction to turn on the front fog lamps.
The indication lamp in the instrument cluster will
also come on. To turn the front fog lamps off, turn
the knob once in the “OFF” direction. While the
rear fog lamp (if so equipped) is on, turn the knob
twice in the “OFF” direction to turn the front fog
lamps off. The knob will automatically return to its
original position when you release it. NOTE
l The
front fog lamps are

automatically turned
off when the headlamps or tail lamps are
turned off. To turn the front fog lamps on
again, turn the knob in the “ON” direction af-
ter turning on the headlamps or tail lamps.

Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are
not
necessarily water-
proof. If the electrical circuits become wet, further
operation of the vehicle will be impossible; there-
fore, avoid crossing streams unless absolutely nec-
essary. If crossing a stream is unavoidable, use the
following procedure: 1. Check depths of a stream and geographicalfeatures before attempting to cross a stream
and ford the stream where the water is as shal-
low as practicable.
2. Set the transfer shift lever to “4L” position (easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (super se-
lect 4WD).
3. Drive slowly at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splashing too much
water. CAUTION
l
Never cross a stream
where
the water is
deep.
Do not change gears while crossing the
stream.
Frequent crossing of streams can adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec-
ommend you to take the necessary meas-
ures to prepare, inspect, and repair the ve-
hicle.
After crossing a stream, apply the brakes to be sure
they are functioning
properly. If

the brakes are wet
and not functioning properly, dry them out by driv-
ing slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully. Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation E00606700048
After operating
the vehicle
in

rough road condi-
tions, be sure to perform the following inspection
and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been damaged
by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
After washing, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal in or-
der to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still
do not function properly, we recommend you
to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have the
following items inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point and take
the necessary measures.
• Check the brake system and, if necessary,have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, transfer, and differential oil or grease level and tur-
bidity. If the oil or grease is milky, it indi-
cates water contamination. Replace it
with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If ingress of water is found, dry the carpet etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the headlamp bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained. Cautions on handling of 4-wheel
drive vehicles E00606800368
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can
be applied to the 4
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when oper-
ating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the con-
dition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer to
“Tyres and wheels” on page 9-18.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of the
same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
“Tyre rotation” on page 8-13. l Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly. Starting and driving

NOTE
l Do
not allow the wiper
arm to fall onto the
windscreen; it could damage the glass.
3. Attach the retainers (C) to a new wiper blade. Refer to the illustration to ensure that the re-
tainers are correctly aligned as you attach
them. 4. Insert the wiper blade into the arm, starting
with the opposite end

of the blade from the
stopper. Make sure the hook (B) is fitted cor-
rectly in the grooves in the blade.
NOTE l If retainers are not supplied with the new wip-
er blade, use the retainers from the old blade. 5. Push the wiper blade until the hook (B) en-
gages securely with the stopper (A). General maintenance

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look under the body of

your vehicle to check for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks. WARNING
l If
you
see a
suspicious
fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate the combination lamp switch

to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause
is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check the
fuses first. If there is no blown fuses, check the
lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“Fuses” on page 8-20 and “Replacement of lamp
bulbs” on page 8-23.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected. Maintenance

4. Referring to the fuse
load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem. C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If
any system does not

function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked. 5. Insert
a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller

into the same place at the
fuse block. CAUTION
l
If the newly inserted
fuse
blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire. Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure

the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface. CAUTION
l
Bulbs are extremely hot
immediately
af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE l If
you are unsure of

how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
